Fitness and wellness studios
Member questions, opening checks, equipment faults and local offers for every studio.
afka uses analytics cookies to see how visitors use the site, and a service that can identify the company a visitor works for. We do not sell your data. Decline and none of it loads.
For franchisors and multi‑unit franchisees. Location managers and staff ask afka what the operations manual says and report what happened, by voice or with a photo, in their own language. afka answers from your standards, files it on the location and brings every exception to brand HQ.
The same afka runs the support desk of a franchisor and the back office of a multi‑unit franchisee, in fitness, food and drink, home services and learning. It learns your operations manual, locations, owners and suppliers, and works in the tools you already have.
Member questions, opening checks, equipment faults and local offers for every studio.
Recipe and standard questions, supplier orders, audits and promotions across every unit.
Territory leads, job standards, quality checks and the same customer promise in every territory.
Curriculum and policy questions, enrolment follow‑ups and centre reports for the whole network.
Every question the manual already answers, every report chased and every local ad checked by hand costs minutes, at brand HQ and in every location. Here is what that is worth for a typical network, and for smaller and larger ones.
About 50 hours and $1,080 back every month.
About 158 hours and $3,410 back every month.
About 500 hours and $10,770 back every month.
An estimate, not a promise: a working month of 22 days, a full‑time month of 160 hours, and the time a person spends today on work afka can take over. The hourly cost is the US median pay of a customer service representative (BLS, May 2025), before benefits; time saved in the locations comes on top. Once afka is running, your weekly report shows the hours it actually saved.
Each one arrives as a question from a location, a photo from a visit, a local ad for approval or a weekly report, which is exactly where afka works.
Location staff ask in their own words and get the answer from your manual with the section it comes from. Anything the manual does not allow goes to brand HQ as a request, not as an argument.
Opening checklists and visit photos come in through Talk. afka scores them against your standards, sends the location its action list and follows up until each item is closed.
A location sends its poster or post. afka checks it against the brand guide, fixes what it can from your templates and sends brand HQ a version that is ready to approve.
afka collects each location's weekly report, reminds the late ones, flags numbers that look wrong and drafts the royalty statements for your finance team to send.
Brand HQ connects the tools and the manual once. After that every franchisee, manager and member of staff installs Talk from one join link and speaks to afka in their own language: ask what the standard is, report a fault, send a photo, request an exception.
Priced per workspace with unlimited seats, so every location and every member of staff can use Talk without a licence of their own.
What a franchise network of 38 studios looks like when afka does the repetitive part.
Each location's opening checklist comes in by voice, time zone by time zone. A late opening reaches its owner at once.
Staff ask what the standard is and hear it from the manual. Exceptions go to brand HQ as ready requests.
Local posters and posts are checked against the brand guide and reach HQ ready to approve.
Brand HQ reads one message: openings, open audit items, exceptions and the reports still missing.
No new software for the locations and no project for brand HQ. Connect the manual and the tools you already use, send every location one join link, and read the first network report the same evening.
Your operations manual, brand guide, inbox and the tools you already pay for, in a few clicks. afka reads them and learns your standards, locations and owners.
Each owner, manager and member of staff taps it, picks their location and starts talking. Every location sees its own work; brand HQ sees the network.
Which locations opened on time, which exceptions wait for you and what is still open from audits, in one message every evening.
The same Talk app as on our home page, on every manager's and member of staff's own phone. They speak, afka answers out loud, and the work lands where the office sees it.
The office works with afka where it already works: email, Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Chat, and the dashboard. Your tools connect in a few clicks.
Plus your POS, booking and franchise management software through managed connectors. If what you use is not there, afka writes the connection itself.
Each person gets their own afka account under your network, at no extra cost because seats are unlimited. Brand HQ sends one join link; each person taps it on the phone, picks their location, signs in and Talk installs on the home screen. A short walkthrough on the first day covers how to ask the manual, send a photo and report a fault.
Each location sees its own work, reports and conversations. Brand HQ sees the whole network. A franchisee with several locations sees all of theirs and nobody else's.
For standards and policies, yes: every answer comes from your manual and brand guide, with the section it comes from. When the manual does not cover a case, afka says so and sends the question to brand HQ instead of guessing.
No, and it matters. afka knows who is speaking, so each person needs their own account: their location, their requests and their language stay theirs, and nobody can act with brand HQ's permissions. Talk works on a work phone or on their own.
No. Each person talks to afka in their own language, in as many languages as the models handle, and brand HQ reads everything in its own.
A plan per workspace with unlimited seats, plus credits for the work it does. Every location and every member of staff can use Talk.
